Tough talk didn't stop bombs from going off in Brussels on Tuesday morning, and innocent people being blown up on subways and at the Zaventem airport, the biggest in Belgium. There was more than one bomb this time. It only takes one, the way it only takes one terror cell to make you feel as if the whole world has been blown up, again. So this time Brussels becomes the capital of a dangerous world, until it is somewhere else.

There are no simple answers to this, not from Donald Trump or anybody else, even as Trump tweets out that it is President Obama's weakness and political correctness that have made groups like ISIS stronger.

Deadly terror attacks rock Brussels airport and metro

There is only shame in assessing blame here for political gain, or acting as if there are easy answers. There aren't any to make the world more secure for us, or for our children. And there is no threat from any American politician that scares off the people capable of forming a plan like this and executing it.

You will never scare these people off with big, bully talk, or stop them simply by arresting someone like Salah Abdeslam, a key player in the concert hall slaughter in Paris. They keep coming.

There is no rhetoric, certainly none of the childish rhetoric of our presidential campaign, that will ever stop them. They bomb Brussels into lockdown now. You saw it in this country when two radicalized brothers set off bombs on Boylston St. at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, on a sidewalk across from the Boston Public Library. Only three died that day. But just like that, while the manhunt went on for the Tsarnaev brothers, it was Boston that was shut down.

Now they do it in Brussels. In the end ISIS made it look easy, no matter how much sophisticated planning was involved. The idea that there really is some easy solution, here or across the ocean, is as insane as the people from ISIS who keep coming, not just through our airports and across our borders and through the cracks that will exist in any immigration policy, but over a big, high wall that separates us from hell.

There is more security at airports, here and everywhere, than at any other time in the history of what we still want to think of as the civilized world. But there is no security that stops somebody from getting off a subway or out of a car and walking into the lobby of any airport with a bomb in a suitcase. There is still no security that stops a young man or young woman from stepping through sliding doors and into a subway car, at the Times Square station in New York City or at the Maelbeek subway station in Brussels.

As soon as Abdeslam is captured you know there is just another player in this sick game about to move up. I saw a headline the other day about how the capture of Abdeslam could lead to an "intelligence bonanza." What we got was more bombs going off, this time in Brussels, the latest capital of bombs and death, and more terror.

You hoped, as you saw the first terrible pictures out of that city, as the toll of dead and injured continue to rise, that the response here wouldn't be more cheap posturing from some of those running for President. But of course the noise didn't stop. The goal is always to make the crowd roar even when there are more pictures of people running for their lives.

Who knows how long it took to plan these bombings? Who knows if this was in the works before Salah Abdeslam was taken into custody, or if it was a response to his capture? All we knew on Tuesday morning was the reality of being a world at war, the reality of the whole world being a soft target. Boylston St. was that kind of target at a Boston Marathon. Bataclan concert hall in Paris was a soft target. Now it is a subway car and an airport.

It was Bin Laden's men coming at us 15 years ago, blowing up two of our buildings, killing nearly 3,000 innocent people. Now they come for Europe, again. They do this from the shadows, with cell phones and homemade bombs, and safehouses, and snakes crawling around inside their heads. And Ted Cruz talked about carpet bombs somehow solving this problem. Trump talks about this country backing away from NATO, as if that is some kind of solution to anything.

We keep going after ISIS in Iraq, where George W. Bush's war turned that country into a Parris Island for terrorism, and in Syria. And then the response from bad men is as simple as this: They kill more innocent people. An airline ticket counter is their soft target this time. A subway car. Brussels becomes the capital of an unsafe world, for now. Until the next one.
